Ho do I COMPLETELY remove Nik software?

I have removed all Nik editing software from my iMac but still see references to all the available edit options under "edit" in Lightroom. I have searched in Applications and Lightroom package contents but there is no sign of any Nik software so it would seem it has removed completely. But when I open an image and go to edit it shows Nik software still there to be used although it has disabled. How can I remove these action prompts please? I am running an iMac, OS High Sierra 10.13.2 and Lightroom 5. Thank you.

    Thanks. I found this which may be the same.

    Lightroom Users: After Analog Efex Pro is removed from the computer, it may still appear in your Lightroom plug-ins list. To remove it, open Lightroom, then open Lightroom's Preferences. Open the External Editor tab, and select Analog Efex Pro from the Preset drop-down menu. Then, re-open the Preset drop-down menu and select 'Delete preset "Analog Efex Pro."'

    I selected each plugin individually and then deleted and it worked.

    Look in Preferences at the External Editing tab. You can delete Nik entries.

    Also in Plugin Manager, there may be a reference to HDREfex. In the Status section, you can go to where the plugin is stored - usually a Modules folder - and delete that file.

    I think that should be all.
